Title: Catching the Wrong Fish: Research, Management, and Future Directions
Presenter: Brendan Talwar, NOAA Seagrant Knauss Fellow, Marine Mammal Commission
Abstract: Millions of pounds of marine creatures are caught on accident in recreational and commercial fisheries every year, and are collectively referred to as ‘bycatch’. But what happens to these animals after being released alive, how big of a problem is bycatch-related mortality, and what can be done to reduce it? I’ll be sharing stories from the field about how we conduct research on bycatch species as well as some insights into one of the most pressing conservation stories of our time – the dramatic decline of in the population of vaquita, a small porpoise endemic to the northern Gulf of California.
About the Speaker: Brendan Talwar grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, but was fortunate to spend his holidays in Pensacola, Florida, where kayaking, fishing, and exploring the bays and the Gulf sparked an early interest in marine science. As an undergraduate student at Furman University, he studied abroad in Bermuda, Belize and the Turks and Caicos. Before completing a master’s degree in biology at Florida State University, he taught marine science in the Florida Keys as well as The Island School in The Bahamas. He also participated in research projects in Shark Bay, Australia, and at the Cape Eleuthera Institute in The Bahamas. During graduate school, Brendan’s research focused on predicting and estimating the percentage of deep-sea sharks and giant isopods that survive after being caught by accident and then thrown back alive, while his post-graduate work has been focused on marine mammal policy while at the Marine Mammal Commission, an independent federal agency of the U.S. government.
And for February:

Justin Trawick & The Common Good- Album Release
2018-01-29 20:00 - 23:00 (America/Halifax)
Justin Trawick and The Common Good – Bio
Justin Trawick and The Common Good’s debut record, “The Riverwash EP”, exemplifies the raw emotional live sound Trawick and the band have cultivated over the years playing in clubs and festivals up and down the East Coast. With instrumentation consisting of acoustic guitar, upright bass, fiddle, mandolin, and pedal steel, the band’s live performance plays fast and loose with the “Americana” genre, performing heartfelt ballads followed by raucous bluegrass melodies and even moments of hip hop verses. Written by DC based songwriter Justin Trawick, “The Riverwash EP” introduces the listener to Trawick’s unique brand storytelling with five original songs about love, loss, longing, resilience, and time pulling heartstrings of listeners young and old. Adam Levy (Norah Jones, Tracy Chapman) guest performs on guitar during “All the Places That I’ve Been”, a song inspired by Trawick’s ninety-seven year old grandmother and her stories of the World War II generation. Finally, the album closes with the band’s unique take on “Wonderwall” by Oasis, a track sure to trick the audience into thinking they’re listening to another Trawick original.
Justin Trawick has been performing in the Washington DC area and along the East Coast since 2006, citing musical influences like Bob Schneider, The Tallest Man on Earth, G. Love, Old Crow Medicine Show, and David Gray. In June of 2015, Trawick released his first single, “Goodbye”, under the band name “Justin Trawick and the Common Good”; written about the search for direction and belonging in a world that constantly feels one step ahead of you. Trawick has performed for TedxEast in NYC at the City Winery, TedxPennsylvaniaAvenue in DC at the Newseum, and has opened for over 30 national acts including Suzanne Vega, Wyclef Jean, Brett Dennen, Blues Traveler, Enter The Haggis, Bob Schneider, and Edwin McCain, and shared bills with Dr. Dogg and The Avett Brothers. In February of 2014, Trawick won “Song of the Year” at the Washington Area Music Awards for his song “All the Places That I’ve Been,” which can be downloaded on iTunes as a single along with his five other solo records and EPs. Founder of the nationally touring show “The 9 Songwriter Series” and co-founder of “The Circus Life Podcast” with guests such as Kevin Eubanks, Chris Thomas King, Ernie Halter, Yarn, and Snuffy Walden, Trawick has built a brand that extends far beyond his home base in DC.
